Considerations when buying car antennas

When choosing car antennas, there are several factors to consider.

  • First, the length of the antenna is essential, as the size is designed to capture 1/4 of the wavelength of the radio frequency it picks up. An extremely short antenna will work in an urban area but won't be useful in rural areas. Also, the length should be the right size for your vehicle. While the longer the antenna, the better.
  • Ensure that the antennas you choose are durable. They should not have any exposed metal parts, as they will quickly erode. You'll want to select an antenna that can receive good signals, and a sleek, low-profile model is a great option. If you are using the antenna in a car, make sure that it absorbs a wide range of frequencies to produce a clear, crisp sound.
  • A good car antenna will be lightweight, and it should be easy to install. It should also offer good signal reception. It should pick up signals that travel far, and it should be easy to adjust when necessary. 
  • You can choose from internal antennas and external antennas. While internal antennas cost more than external ones, they're more flexible and last longer than external ones. When installing an outdoor antenna, ensure that it's installed on the highest point of the car's body.
